Has anyone figured out what the air flow is doing around the rear edge of the T-panel or around the louvers? I remember reading that lotus added the louvers for aero reasons. If you put a scoop in the wrong place it could actually suck air out of the engine compartment rather than feed it in. Tom M. over on DMCFourm is making a new T-panel for his car with a scoop on it, I haven't seen any pictures of it yet.
